Lone holdout juror triggers mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case, new details reveal

A juror in Lindsay Clancy’s 2023 murder trial described the lone holdout who prevented a verdict after more than 38 hours of deliberations, noting he refused to engage and even mimicked the killings by tying an exercise band around an empty water bottle; the foreman sent a note to the judge and a mistrial was declared. Some jurors later said the group likely would have found Clancy not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, while the defense argued psychosis and the prosecution argued against it. Prosecutors must decide whether to retry, with a hearing scheduled for Sept. 29.
